So you heard no laughter, only applause right after Huckabee made that comment? Nahh. Listen again.
Did I say I didn't hear laughter?
You're kidding, right? I just went back and listened too. There was lots of "enthusiastic applause"! And words of encouragement too, something like "Yeah! That's right!"
I did, however, mention the laughter in my first attempt at a reply to you, which got lost in the webverse. There was a spattering of laughter following his lame jokes...even up to his gun comment. Right after that (1.24?) the applause started.
Now why did you say there wasn't any applause?
As far as the comment being scrubbed, it may have been scrubbed on the site they were speaking about (although since the TP article stated it, that makes it questionable) but it wasn't scrubbed on the two versions you posted, so why would I mention that?
You were the one down there reading all about the laughter, not me. (In all actuality, I think that paragraph was added later.) Anyhow, here's the scrubbed video, direct from Barton's website:
